Weekend Football Betting Tips

 

What a weekend of Premiership action! But where’s your money going? At least with bet365, you’re assured of getting value for money as they bet all games to 107% which, over the course of a season, can make a big difference. Let’s kick off with Liverpool v Chelsea, who get things under way on Saturday (kick off 12.45pm, live betting available).

 

Punters may be looking to oppose Chelsea after recent performances and they may have been priced up a shade generously at 6/4 with bet365 (15/8 Liverpool, 2/1 the Draw). While it’s true Liverpool have an impressive home record, their performances against the top sides doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. They’ve already lost to Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea in the league this season – the Blues have won all five meetings in the past two and a half seasons - so expect them to confirm their superiority here.

 

Reading could be the pick of the 3.00pm games at bet365's 5/6 to beat Sheffield United. That price factors in the Blades good form of late, but the Madejski is a hard place to visit – just ask Bolton and Spurs. Portsmouth (4/7) should also get back to winning ways now that they are back at home against a travel-sick Charlton. We’re also liking the look of Newcastle (8/11) to beat West Ham and Aston Villa (4/7) to beat Watford. An accumulator on all five picks (Chelsea, Reading, Pompey, Newcastle and Villa) pays out at just over £430 for a £20 stake, which includes a bet365 bonus of 10% - up to 60% available every weekend!

 

Goals could be the order of the day when Fulham play Spurs so, rather than try and pick the winner; we’ll have a few quid on ‘over’ 2.5 goals at 11/10 with bet365. On the other hand, goals could be at a premium when Boro play Bolton. We fancy the Trotters to nick the win (6/4), but we’ll also be having a bet on a 0-1 correct score at 13/2 as four of their five away wins this season have been to nil, with three 0-1 results.

 

We’ve got both Man City v Blackburn and Wigan v Everton down as draws (both 11/5) in our book (£10 double pays £102.40), and it’ll be no surprise if the Arsenal v Man United game ends that way too – 21/10 with bet365 (Arsenal 6/4, Man United 9/5). But don’t be afraid to back Arsenal if they go behind as they’re the best second half team in the Premiership, and they’ll be an attractive price on bet365's In-Play Console!
